The title, simply named ‘Dizzy Returns’, will be produced for iOS by developer Blitz Games.

“It’s been 20 years since the last game in the original series (Crystal Kingdom Dizzy) and he’s not been seen in a new adventure since then. But with your help we can set that right!,” says the Kickstarter page.

“We’ve always believed in creating games that are fun, challenging and rewarding, and we’ve carried those principles through into everything that our company, Blitz Games Studios, has created since.”

“Our aim is not to just reboot an old Dizzy game though. We want to stay true to the spirit and core ideals of the original series, whilst utilising the platforms, technology and resources we now have at our disposal. We believe that Dizzy Returns is a perfect fit for mobile gaming, and touch screen technology obviously means that we can experiment with and implement new mechanics and new ways of playing in Dizzy Returns.”

Here’s a direct message from the Oliver twins:

Dizzy Returns needs a total of £350,000 to succeed. Are you going to stump up the cash to make this happen?

When asked whether the story for Gears of War 2 would focus on Marcus Fenix, Cliff replied:

“It is without doubt the story of Marcus but at the same time it’s a story about the human race with its back to the wall,” said Blezinski, translated from Danish by VG247.

“And in the sequel it’s a lot about Dom and the two new characters Tai and Dizzy. There’s also loads of back story about the Pendulum Wars, Jacinto etc.”

“And what about that voice you hear in the trailers?” he said. “Those kinds of things are answered in 2.”
